Must Be Dull

Must 'scientific
Answer: Yes, in the same sense
in which a book written in French
is “dui!” to a person w{io has only
a smattering of that language. For
while scientists sometimes do use
technical terms when they might
use familiar ones, there are many
scientific ideas for which ordinary
English has no exact words, and
for which the non-scientific reader
must learn new terms if he is to
understand discussions of them. The
alternative is a '‘translation’' like
this column, and unfortunately no
translation can by 100% accurate
because, except for such concrete
words as “house” or “tree,” no two
words in different languages convey
exactly the same meaning.

meanings its name has acquired.
Advertisers, for example, long
since learned to make colors ap>
pealing by giving them names
which suggest romance or social
superiority, such as “ruby” red,
or “royal” purple. “Navy blue”
conveys a feeling of dependability
which “dark-blue” does not.
Do colors affect your emotions?
Answer: Probably not much all
by themselves, says Dr. Benjamin
J. Kouwer, Dutch psychologist. A
light of one wave-length probably
does not arouse very different feel
ings than does one of another. The
effect of a color on your emotions
depends largely on the idea: which

Will a nursery school help a
spoiled child?
Answer: It might, if he is not too
much retarded in emotional devel
opment to be capable of getting
on wdth other cftildren. But it can
not cure him. A spoiled child is one
who has or has had a neurotic
mother, and the only way to help
him is to help his mother to feel
differently toward him and herself,
and to treat him differently. Where
a nursery school or its staff might
be of the most use would be in
leading the mother to get help for
her own difficulties. Well-adjusted
mothers do not have “spoiled chil
dren,” and the only real cure for
a child’s emotional problems is to
solve his mother’s.

KEEPING HEALTHY
Fatigue May Be Induced by Allergy
By Dr. James W. Barton
pHYSICIANS are finding that
* while pain stand? first as cause
for consulting a physician, fatigue
(tiredness) is how a leading reason
for visits to, or from, the physician.
The whole world seems to be tired.
In Annals of Allergy, Dr. M. G.
Mayer, Michigan City, Indiana,
states that three per cent of all
new patients seen over a year’s
period offered fatigue as their sole
treason for seeking medical atten
tion. It was found that those who
showed allergic tendencies seemed
more likely to develop fatigue, and
investigation of these cases from
the standpoint of allergy was thor
oughly made.
“Surprising results were obtained
when the offending factors or sub
stances, generally foods, were omit
ted or removed,” writes Dr. Mayer.
“Forty-eight per cent became well
of fatigue in the group with organic
disease not deemed sufficient to
cause, fatigue symptoms, and 60
per cent became well of fatigue in
the group in whom no organic dis
ease was found.” Thus Dr. Mayer
points out that allergy and physical
and mental effort may work to
gether in causing the entire nervous
and muscular system to become
fatigued. In his experience, it is
impossible to find intelligent in
dividuals who possess complete
nervous equilibrium or balance—
yet not all complain of fatigue.
Physicians have long known that
allergy is more prevalent among
schoolteachers than among any
other one group. And those well
acquainted with the duties of teach
ers are the first to agree that it is
a most exhausting profession and
that schoolteachers as a class de
serve and need the lengthy summer
holidays granted them. In order to
keep their students alert and awake
to absorb what they are teaching,
teachers have to keep therftselves
keyed up. This alertness causes
tenseness of nerves and muscles
and tenseness for 20 minutes or
half an hour is exhausting.
HEALTH NOTES
lere is a definite relation be
en character and allergy.
Glands take a great part in man
aging and directing the body proc
esses. to
Overactivity of the thyroid causes
the body processes to work too fast
—underweight, rapid heart beat,
mold digestion.
Gross overweight causes disease
and shortens the life span.
Goiter may be of the simple type,
which is not dangerous, or it may
be severe.

If the problem child could be
given an allergy study, perhaps
many could be treated and returned
home emotionally normal.

WALTER SHE AD. WNU Cone .uon.le.u
Speculation on ’52
T HERE IS considerable specula
tion in Washington and, no
doubt, the remainder of the country
over who will be and who will not
be a candidate for the Republican
and Democratic presidential nomi
nations. At the moment three men
hold the spotlight: President Tru
man, Sen. Robert Taft and Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower.
It is far too early to say what
will be the outcome of all the be-
hind-the-scene political maneuver
ing that is taking place in the na
tion’s capital However, there ara
some definite trends and specula
tions that should prove interesting
to the home town readers.
Truman’s Intentions
In the light of political tradition.
President Truman is the logical
candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation. As President he is leader
of the party and a much more
powerful political figure than a
great many will admit His enemies,
both Republican and Democrat,
contend that he has lost his power
over the party and appeal to the
average voter, with some jurisdic
tion, in the light of his relations
with congress.
However, his friends and even
some of his enemies, remember
that President Truman is stub
born, with more than an average
feeling for the common man.
They remember the 1948 cam
paign. Even in the face of the
numerous investigations of his
administrations and its inade
quacies, they realize he has
taken a firm and historic stand
on a number of questions.
He can not be erased from the
picture. Korean developments and
internal economic picture, centered
around the recently signed price
control bill, may have much to do
with his 1952 possibilities.
Taft Wants to Run
There is hardly anyone in Wash
ington who will tell you that Taft
does not want the Republican nomi
nation. To the contrary, it is gen-*
erally believed he has already
opened his campaign with his New
England speeches. And it is gen
erally believed his activities will
accelerate until the eve of the na
tional. Republican convention in an
all-out drive to capture the prize.
Senator Taft, however, has
a number of hurdles to over
come that could be his down
fall. First among them is the
label of isolationist that has been
hung on him. Another is the
opposition of the more Uberal
elements of the Republican par
ty-
To sum up the possibilities and
the speculation. Senator Taft has
opened his campaign. Ho may or
may not succeed.
The Eisenhower Story
The hopes and fears and aspira
tions of political ambitious men and
the Republican and Democratic
parties depend, as perhaps never
before in this country’s history,
upon the intentions of one man—
General Eisenhower.
If tomorrow the general should
decide to announce himself as
a candidate for the Republican
or Democratic nominations for
President, he could have either
one without noticeable opposi
tion.
But there are a number of stum
bling blocks in the general’s path.
For one thing no one knows, at
least it hasn’t been publicly an
nounced, to which party he belongs.
It has been whispered that he is a
Republican, but does not embrace
those elements of the party that
would tear down his work in Europe
and isolate this country from its
allies. Above all, the general is
believed to feel this country’s fu
ture depends on a strong foreign
policy.
On the Democratic side of the
fence, there are many who think
President Truman will throw his
weight behind the general at the
proper moment and secure him for
the Democratic party.
At a recent news conference
President Truman said the general’s
military assignment in Europe
would not prevent him from running
for President next year. The state
ment is believed to be Truman’s
way of removing any road-blocks
in the path of an Ike-for-President
boom.
That is the political triangle that
has the nation talking. Briefly it
can be summed up: Taft wants it,
Truman won’t say, and Eisenhower
can have it..
Reds Will Yield
High United Nations sources be
lieve the Communists will eventual
ly meet allied demands for a cease
fire in Korea. Much of the talk so
far has been of a face-saving na
ture, they argue. They reason that
the Reds have repeatedly exagger
ated allied demands in broadcasts in
their homelands so they can agrea
to actual demands and make it ap
pear the U.N. has granted numerous
concessions. The ways of comxmv
nism are mysterious indeed.

produce as well as to supply the
essential health-giving vitamins

Here are salad recipes designed
to save you time to stay away from
the kitchen, except for the briefest
preparation, and to give you time
for sunning, garden activities or
just plain loafing.

LYNN SAYS:
Good Sense in Cooking
Saves Cents on Meals
A single carrot, shredded, a few
green onion tops, minced, or diced
leftover prunes or an orange, added
to cottage cheese makes a good
tasting cottage cheese salad.
Leftover broth from cooked ham,
tongue or chicken can be used for
cooking dried split peas for a hearty
soup. Add onion and celery salt
for flavor, then dilute the pea
puree with milk and heat for serv
ing.

♦Recipe Given
( r ST’S come down home. The offi-
*■» cial title of this week’s lesson
is “The Christian’s Responsibility
in Public Life.” That is a big thing,
a wide circle; but
the center of the cir
cle is you, my
friend, and right
around you is the
community in which
you live.
What kind of
town is it? Not
how big, but how
good. It doesn’t
have to be a town
at all. It may be a
section of open country, a few miles
of farms, ranches or woodland. But
it is some kind of community.
In New York state the Citizen’s
Council prepared the following set
of questions which can be used to
help you rate your community. After
each set of these questions write
down either 10 for good, 5 for fair,
or 0 for poor.
Dr. Foreman
1 clove garlic
1 small onion, grated
3 tablespoons horseradish
Mix all ingredients well in quart
jar. Shake well before using. (This
dressing is excellent oh any meat
or fish salad that needs a tart
dressing).
Rate Your Town
“1. Education: Does your commu
nity make modern education avail
able to every child, youth and
adult? Are its schools uncrowded,
properly equipped, and in good phys
ical condition? Are the teachers
highly qualified and well paid?
“2. Housing and Planning: Is
etery family decently housed? Is
there continual planning for im
provement of highways and other
community essentials? Are park
ing, transportation problems under
control?
Ham and Egg Salad
(Serves 4)
154 cups diced, cooked hai
im
6 hard-cooked eggs, diced
54 cup chopped sweet pickles
54 cup mayonnaise or salad
dressing
2 tablespoons prepared
mustard ^
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 large tomatoes
Combine bam, eggs and pickles.
Blend m a y o n-
naise with mus
tard and lemon
juice. Toss with
ham mixture.
Mound on halved
tomatoes and
serve on lettuce.
HERE’S A REFRESHING salad
that can be a meal in itself especial
ly if it’s served with sliced ham,
chicken, turkey, cold cuts or cheese
for a meal on a plate:
Tomato-Herb Salad
(Serves 5)
54 cup finely chopped parsley
54 cup finely chopped green
onions, including tops
Few leaves fresb thyme or
marjoram
54 cup salad; oil
3 tablespoons tarragon
vinegar
£ tomatoes
^ 1 teaspoon salt
54 teaspoon coarse black
pepper
Combine greens with salad oil
and vinegar. Peel and halve toma
toes and sprinkle with salt and
pepper. Arrange in layers in a
shallow bowl. Pour dressing over"
each layer. Sorve on lettuce leaves,
after thorough chilling.
A TASTY SAL^D may take the
place of salad and dessert if it’s
like this one made with bananas:
Banana Frozen Salad
(Serves 8-^6)
2 3-ounce packages of cream
cheese
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or
salad dressing
54 cup drained, crushed pine
apple
1 tablespoon lemon juice
54 cup coarsely cut caraschino
cherries
54 cup coarsely cut nutmeats
1 cup whipping cream
2 cups diced ripe bananas
Salad greens
Soften cheese with a fork. Add
salt, mayonnaise and lemon Juice.
Mix well; fold in pineapple, cherries
and nuts. Whip cream until thick
and shiny but not stiff. Fold into
cheese mixture. Fold in bananas.
Turn into freezing tray of auto
matic refrigerator. Freeze, with
indicator at coldest setting, about
2 hours, or until firm.
Raw apple slices combined with
peanut butter in a sandwich make
the peanut butter go - further as
well as giving extra nourishment.
Leftover ground beef can always
go toward making chili Team this
with cornmeal waffles, and you’ll
get a tamale flavor, but much more
easily.'
Freshly baked cookies right from
the oven and a chilled glass of
milk give an excellent dessert for
simple suppers. Or, try hot ginger
bread topped with a mixture of
cream and cottage cheese.
“9. Government: Do capable citi
zens seek public office? Are your
officials concerned above all with
community betterment? Does con
troversy stem from honest differ
ences of opinion and not from squab
bles over privilege?
“10. Community Organization: Is
there any organization (community
forum or the like) representative of
the whole community, working for
the advancement of all? Do your
citizens have opportunity to learn
about and take part in their local
affairs? Is there an organized com
munity-wide discussion program?”*
But now look over those ques
tions again. Is there anything
yen could do, personally, abont
each of those things? II so,
have yon done it? Have yon
done as much as yon could?
Have you ever tried to get other
people Interested?
